The first thing I noticed upon opening up Kobo’s new Elipsa e-reader is that it’s big. It’s marginally more expensive than the current 10th-generation Amazon Kindle, but the Nia boasts a better 6-inch. Kobo’s new e-reader is one of the best note-taking devices on the market, period. The Libra’s recessed screen isn’t too bad, but without a cover, it may attract dust and dirt. The Kobo Nia is a no-frills ereader aimed at those who want a Kindle alternative. Whereas two out of three Kindle models have screens that are flush with the device’s bezels, only the most expensive Kobo offers the same. There’s plenty to love about the Libra H2O’s design, but there is one thing dragging it down - even if only slightly. And, since the power button is located out of the way at the back of the device, there’ll be no accidental sleep mode in the middle of your reading sesh. This new screen tech delivers a 20 increase in response time over E Ink Carta 1000, and an improvement in the contrast ratio of 15. It weighs in at 192 grams, so makes a neat little companion for your commute or travels.īecause of its ergonomic design and page-turn buttons, the Libra H2O can be used just as comfortably with one hand as it can with both. The Kobo Sage features an E INK Carta 1200 display. Kobos 179.99 Libra 2 is the latest device in its lineup of ebook readers with physical page-turn buttons. It measures 159mm in length and 144mm in width, and at its thinnest is just 5mm thick, increasing to 7.8mm at the grip edge, where you’ll find the two page-turn buttons (one to go forward, one to go back). But even if it does, and this bad boy lands in the pool or bathtub, its IPX8 waterproof rating should keep it working like a dream. It’s super comfortable to hold, and the dotted pattern on the back is grippy enough that it won’t feel like it’s about to slip through your hands. The Libra H2O uses the same hard plastic and soft, rubberised backing found on its exxy big brother, the Forma.
